Does Flash makes all MBP hot or just my older one?

[dmix]

Makes my 2011 MBP as hot as it did on my 2008 MBP.

Flash's ability to hog resources has scaled in line with moores law.

Do laptops running Windows face the same problems with Flash?

[keys1234]

Yup, heats up and hangs after 20 mins of video playback.

[krakensden]

yes, but it's not as bad

[sebkomianos]

So, it's not entirely Adobe's fault is it?

I'm certain that Apple has provided the APIs that would be necessary for Flash to use less than 100% CPU, the problem is that Adobe has decided it's not worth their time to make use of them.

Unless you're suggesting it's the user's fault for not running Windows like he should, I'm not sure how you're thinking it's not Adobe's fault.

[sebkomianos]

If the same software performs better on other platforms then the one platform that has the biggest problems should do something as well, that's what I am saying.

I don't own a MBP, but my mac mini (2.5ghz i5) is heating up pretty quickly (about 20-30 degrees warmer while playing a flash video).
